Boeings identified in Reuters report carried weapons for Sudanese paramilitary, UN experts find
The panel said four sources linked the planes to fighters and military cargo, including drones and weapons, in support of the RSF.
- United Nations experts found Boeing 727s transported mercenaries, weapons, and drones for Sudan's Rapid Support Forces, according to a draft report due in September.
- Operating from N'Djamena, Chad, since November 2024, the Boeings took "deliberate steps to avoid detection while in flight," the United Nations panel suspected.
- Investigators detailed support from 1,500 Colombian mercenaries known as the Desert Wolves, hired by the United Arab Emirates-based firm Global Security Services Group to fight alongside the RSF.
- A spokesperson for the United Arab Emirates mission told Reuters that Global Security Services Group "is acting in full compliance with UAE laws and regulations and international law."
- These findings are part of a broader investigation into violations of the 22-year-old arms embargo on Darfur, where fighting has created the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
